Median
The median splits the data down the middle, like the median strip in a road.
From sports:
we = pos, win = pos, they = neg, lose = neg, good = pos, bad = neg
we win = good (pos × pos = pos)
we lose = bad (pos × neg = neg)
they win = bad (neg × pos = neg)
they lose = good (neg × neg = pos)
From friendship:
friend = pos, enemy = neg
My friend's friend is my friend (pos × pos = pos)
My friend's enemy is my enemy (pos × neg = neg)
My enemy's friend is my enemy (neg × pos = neg)
My enemy's enemy is my friend (neg× neg = pos)
From life:
good = pos, bad = neg

Sudoku…
Try to fill the grid with the integers 1 to 9 such that each row, column, and box
(3×3 regions bordered by thick lines) contains a single instance of all the integers
from 1 to 9.
The Puzzle: Solve the following:
ABCDEF × 3 = BCDEFA
The Solution . . .
285714 × 3=857142
or
142857 × 3=428571
The Puzzle: Using the numerals 1,7,7,7 and 7 (a "1" and four "7"s) create the
number 100.
As well as the five numerals you can use the usual mathematical operations
(+, -, x, ÷ and brackets ().
For example: (7+1) × (7+7) = 112 would be a good attempt, but not right,
because it is not 100.
a) 177-77 = 100
b) (7+7) × (7+(1 ÷ 7)) = 100
(Caution: Trick)
The Solution . . .
5832/17496 = 1/3
The Puzzle: How can I get the answer 24 by only using the numbers 8,8,3,3.
You can use the main signs add, subtract multiply and divide.
The Solution . . .
We know of two solutions.
1) Supplied by "mathsyperson":
8/(3-(8/3))
= 8/(1/3)
= 24
((8 x 3!)/3)+8
= ((8 x 3 x 2 x 1)/3)+8
= (48/3)+8
= (16)+8
= 24
"The day before yesterday I was only 25 and next year I will turn 28."
The Puzzle: Which area is bigger: the total orange or the total red?
The Solution . . .
Using the illustration below, we can calculate the following areas:
A(square) = 9 x 9 = 81;
A(red) = 28.27 + 12.57 = 40.84;
A(orange) = 81 - 40.84 = 40.16.
Thus, A(red) > A(orange).
The Puzzle: How many outlines of triangles of all sizes and shapes can you trace
in the figure?
The Solution . . .
It has 37 outlines of triangles…
The Puzzle: A solid, four-inch cube of wood is coated with blue paint on all six
sides.
These new one-inch cubes will have either three blue sides, two blue sides, one
blue side, or no blue sides. How many of each will there be?
The Solution . . .
There are 24 with one side colored, 8 with three sides colored, 24 with two
sides colored, and 8 with no sides colored.

Why should you never mention the number 288 in front of anyone ?
Because it is too gross (2 x 144 - two gross).
How do we know that the following fractions are in Europe? A/C, X/C

penny count.
What do you call three feet of trash? A junk yard. (3 feet = 1 yard)
Why did the man sleep with a ruler? To see how long he could sleep.
Mathgical…
Try this:
Take 15 x 13 for an example.
Always place the larger number of the two on top in your mind.
Then draw the shape of Africa mentally so it covers the 15 and the 3 from the 13 below.
Those covered numbers are all you need.
First add 15 + 3 = 18
Add a zero behind it (multiply by 10) to get 180.
Multiply the covered lower 3 x the single digit above it the "5" (3x5= 15)
Add 180 + 15 = 195.
That is It! Wasn't that easy? Practice it on paper first!
The 11 Rule
You likely all know the 10 rule (to multiply by 10, just add a 0 behind the number) but
do you know the 11 rule? It is as easy! You should be able to do this one in you head for
any two digit number. Practice it on paper first!
To multiply any two digit number by 11:
A matHgical tRick…
Here is a trick I ran across and found interesting.
Think of a 3-digit number where the difference between the first and last digit is at
least 2 (for example, 124 works, 122 does not).
Reverse the number and subtract the smaller from the larger.
Reverse this new number, and add it back to the result of Step obtained above.
70% of the time you will get 1089.
Tattletale Dice
Explain to the other person that you have a special "square power" that allows you to
create a magic square with any given sum.
1. Show the other person Magic Square 15 (at right).
2. Show that the rows, columns, and diagonals all add up to 15.
3. Ask the other person to pick a number between 18 and 48
— one that can be divided by 3.
He or she should pick one of these "magic sums":
18 21 24 27 30 33 36 39 42 45 48
492
357
816
4. Draw the new magic square.
5. Have the other person check to make sure that the sums are correct.

A Math Poem
Math can be a wondrous rhyme.
Makes students go round and round all the time.
You can design equations to make shapes.
Or you can memorize them like an ape.
Sometimes you can monkey a solution.
This may cause a revolution.
But there really is no absolution.
Someone will always want to see the proof
And then will discover it was a spoof.
Then comes the day to put it on the board
Using old-fashioned chalk for the lord.
The prof will check for glitches
And look for funny variable switches.
Maybe you're lucky and maybe you're not.
But if you aren't you'll be on the spot.
So kiddies, learn your calculus well
Or else the prof could ring your bell.
